Tne Quiet Girl.

The quiet girl never wears hi gh colors
on the streets; you do not see her faunt-
ing in brilliant plaids, when they hap
pen to be the style; when high hats are
''in" she does not pile hers so high that
il sweeps the cobwebs from the sky;
she does not wear an exaggerated bang
when the bang is in vogue, nor the big
gest hustle in town, nor the longest
trail to her tea-gown, nor the greatest
number of bangles when bangles reign.
But because she does not chatter and
giggle and make herself conspicuous in
horse cars or matinees, does not an
nounce her convictions on all occasions
and all subjects, and profess her ad-
mirations at every hands turn, it must
not be supposed that she has no ideas
or convictions or enthusiasms; that she
moves along like a star in the heavens,
which obeys the laws of gravltation
without selecting it's course, or object
ing to it's orbit. She is quiet because
she has no power to make herself heard,
to change her conditions, or because
she is maturing that power. In the
meantime it is the quiet girl who mar
ries earliest, who makes the best match,
who fills the inches which her more
brilliant sisters leave vacant, who man
ages the servants, runs the sewing ma
chine, remembers the birthdays, listens
to the "reminiscences of the old, and
often keeps the wolf from the door,

The Result.

The election has come and gone
and the result is an enormous anti
prohibition majority. We are not
very greatly surprised. In fact,
while tho prospect of our success was
most fair, we did not permit ourscli
TO believe that so great revolution
could DO wrought in so short time.
As we said in the start, we regarded
tho late canvass more in the light oil
n grand process for educating the
public mind. AS such it has been a
signal success. The question is bet,
ter understood by the people OF Tex,
rs than it would otherwise have been
in the next twenty years. And the
good seed thus sown will yet beal
abundant fruit. We see no sort OF
ground for Encouragement. In facts
and in argument it has been a sue
cession of victories on tho part OF the
advocates of prohibition. Their an
tagonists clearly felt themselves
whipped on every field until at last
they skulked tho conflict. Not only
so, but they were a badly scared set
of fellows all through. They evi.
IDENTIFY were. in mortal terror Of de.
feat. This was shown by the last
desperate resort of calling on the
ex-presidcnt of the confederacy at
the last moment to lend the prestige
of his name in their behalf.
We repeat, there is no real ground
for Encouragement. The 100000
earnest prohibition voters and work,
ers developed By the contest will be
able to control the destiny OF the
movement to n favorable issue
Truth is mighty, and will eventual
prevail

We notice that the Galveston News
asssrts that tho great body of the re-
publicans in Texas voted for prohi,
bition. A huger falsehood was nov
or utterod-precisely tho reverse Is
true, we scarcely got any republican
votes save small fraction OF the ne.
groes. All tho republican leaders
and managers with one or two ex-
ceptions were anti-prohibition' and
actively employed on the stump in its
favor, and there is no reason to
doubt but they had their usual
rag-tag md bobtail party following.
The republicans number some $4,000
in the State, which explains the
great mass of tho anti-prohibition
majority. Nothing could be more
false than to say such u majority is
Democratic.

All Hall, San Marcos!

In 1873, after reading up Texas
for year or 30, we selected San
Marcos az our future home, and
came here direct, without having a
single personal acquaintance outside
OF our own family. From that day
TO this we have boon fully identified
with the town, and in spite Of various
ups and downs, and some rough, I'M
generous treatment, we have enjoyed
the friendship and support OF the
best elements Of society in town and
vicinity, and maintained n high APP
probation of the place, its natural
beauty and advantages, and the gen
eral superiority Of its people over
most other Texas towns. We have
travelled extensively in tho State, and
have always come back to San Mar
cos with renewed feelings of prefer
ence and pride.
But we have never been so proud
Of her as We are to-day. Her noble
fight for tho prohibition of the liquor
traffic, in behalf of the best good of
society, her majority of over one
hundred votes for that cause against
the utmost efforts of generally the
lowest elements of society, backed up
by money obtained I'D HJitam from
the whiskey and beer magnates of
the North, have given her moral
elevation in the world which does her
the highest honor, and must enure
most signally to her benefit by attract
ing only the best people to make
their homes here.

The FREE PRESS has always OK
pressed the firm conviction that the
moral, law-abiding element of San
Marcos and vicinity, whenever they
saw cause to unite, could control in all
elections. The result on Thursday
demonstrates the correctness Of our
views on that subject. Over one
hundred majority for the right is q
good security against evil-doers. The
saloonists will do well to heed this
fact, and go slow in this precinct.
There is n rod in pickle for them
should they become neutrality-suspicious.
we mean local option, which IS real
ly prohibition in local way. Its
failure here q good many years ago
has caused m unjust prejudice
against it. But the law has since
been made far more stringent, and
public sentiment also is now much
more favorable. III adopted now it
could no doubt DO enforced. Let it
be borne in mind that it was through
local option that the grand prohibi-
ton triumphs ut Atlanta and Rome,
Ca, and other points in the South
were reached. Let no one therefore
despise local option, but let us all be
thankful that it remains the law of
the land in Texas. Anti-prohibi-
tionists and anti democrats would no
doubt be glad to expunge it from the
Constitution, but it will there remain
terror to the saloonists, until super
seeded by State prohibition.

Roger @. Mills has already issued
his pronuncamento against Demo

the ants to go to work at once to
secure control of the primaries, says
prohibition must be voted out of the
party and exterminated, that Mt the
next State convention the strongest
possible plank must be passed
against that heresy, etc. In short he
cracks his whip over prohibition

The President in accepting an invi,
ton to visit Kansas City, expressed
his pleasure that it had no partisan
or political feature" His visit to
the west which takes place early in
October, is likely to prove IL notable
event. His desire to SOC the country
and visit the people without any
suggestion of political purpose,
will no doubt be reciprocated by a
desire to DO honor to the Chief Ma
gistrate of the nation without regard
to party considerations. There is n
wholesome exhibition of feeling on
both sides, and it gives promise of a
time when president, once elected,

Pursuant to the call of its Chair
man, Democratic Executive Commit
tee, Of jefferson, met in Charlestown
last Tuesday and there was a full
attendance.
In view of the fact that there is
so little time before the election,
there was considerable discussion as
how the party had better nominate
its candidate for the Legislature.
Finally a committee was appointed
to determine upon a plan. The Com
mittee made its report, as follows,
which was adopted
We, the undersigned, recommend
the following:

THE VOTE IN JEFFERSON

The situation in Jefferson, as we
90 to press, moon, Friday is this;
l. The Democracy is practically a
unit against the election of Mr..
Camden or of any man of the same
methods, views and associations.
As between Mr.. Camden and any
one of the same class, ex-senator
Davis, for example, this county
would 90 ten to one for Camden
on the principle that the man who
has made the fight is entitled to the
fruits of his victory. On the other
hand if Mr. Camden is defeated,
then the feeling is unanimous that
the next Senator, if the Legislature
can elect, should be Lucas, Flour
ney, Chew, Price, or some man who
is the opposite of Mr.. Camden.
,. There are perhaps 100 Of Cam
denis supporters in this county who
are regarded by their neighbors as
men of intelligence and local indu-
ence. But his managers here as q
rule are men who are not trusted,
who are not respected and who, ac-
cording te common repute, are for
Camden only because it is profitable.
These managers, conceded that there
/ is an overwhelming majority in the
party opposed to him, are taxing
their ingenuity to invent some ras-
cally method by which to thwart the
public will at the primaries on to-
morrow. Their plans, as is the IN
variable practice with monopoly are
kept secret. 1t is supposed that
they have some scheme on foot by
which, when defeated in the primar
les, they will find some plausible eX-
cuse to bolt the nomination and sup
port an Independent candidate 1t
Is also supposed that they have some
assurance that money will be forth
coming in great abundance to pur-
chase such of the Republican votes
rs are for sale.
We very confidently assure the
people throughout the State that
monopoly will be showed under at
our election on the 5th of April.

THE MEAT OF THE ARGUMENT.
From the Martinsburg Statesman,

IRON the MaitluoNu4S oNotOHAiAes"'
For fear that some of our readers
may have neglected to read the adj
dress delivered by the Hon. John Q.
Smith. of Ohio, before a meeting of
farmers, which was published in our
two last issues, we reproduce the
following extract which presents the
meat of the convincing arguments
advanced and the moral to be de
duced: Let US remove our tariff.
brethren. and everything would
spring into newness of life. There
would be no reduction in the price
of produce, but every dollar the far
mer and the farm hand gets would
purchase more of the neUessaries OF
life. and that would create far
greater demand for manufactured
goods. The profits Of farming capt.
tai would be greater and farm wages
would increase and more constant
EMPLOYMENT be assured. Manufac-
turers, relieved from heavy burdens
of taxation, would be able to sell
more goods and cheaper goods in
this country, and have thrown open
to them the now closed markets Of
the world. Our ships would find
cargoes of manufactured goods, to
be exchanged for the choicest and
most desirable products Of any cOun-
try in the world, the sugars of the
West Indies and the coffee of Brazil.
Al labor would rapidly learn to be
more productive and would cOnse-
quently rise, and at the same time
the cost of living would be greatly
reduced. Precisely this effect took
place in England on the repeal of
their protective laws. Wages there
have greatly risen, and the cost of
all necessaries of life have greatly
fallen. The people of England are
to-day better fed and better clothed,
better housed and better educated
than ever before in their long histO
ry, and with the improvement in
their condition they have been ena-
bled to enforce large concessions of
civil rights"
The editor of the Statesmen holds
a Federal office and his paper, like
the other Camden organs, talks one
way but acts another way. If the
Statesman knows anything, it knows
perfectly well that Camden and Da-
Wis advocate a tariff for protection,
and yet it supports these million
aire politicians.
Mr.. Smith is one Of the best known
farmers in Ohio, and if he were in
West Virginia he would urge our
farmers not to follow men like Cam
den and Davis.

SUSPENDED ANIMATIoN.-A remar-
kabIe case of suspended animation
is reported from Boston. A brother
of Royson Stanton, of Stetson's OPP
era Company, to all appearances died
from consumption two weeks ago.
Another brother fthe supposed dead
man refused to permit the remains
to be inferred, although the physi-
clans had pronounced the man in
the coffin to be stone dead. At last
pressure was brought to bear upon
the contrary man to allow the funeral
to take place, and the body was
placed in the tomb. The brother
visited the vault every six hours, and
on one of his visits noticed that the
corpse had moved. The coffin was
taken back to the house, and the
dead man recovered consciousness.
His first question was: "What day of
the week is it|-San.
